ARANEA: Details in my research suggest our villain had a num8er of acolytes oper8ting in the shadows, preparing for his arrival.
ARANEA: We will pro8a8ly never know who these scurrilous conspir8tors were. 8ut it is evident that at some point the cheru8 was locked in a room, either out of exasper8tion, or for its own good, until it was old enough to enter the session.

He was later seen in Act 6 Act 4 tallying his time spent in the jail cell. Act 6 Intermission 4 shows him sporting a gold tooth and manacle around his leg, an obvious nod to Caliborn.

154 days after his arrest, Jack is sendificated another pumpkin, containing a variety of knives and cutting tools, Crowbar's crowbar, a "YOU'RE MOTHER FUCKIN WELCOME" note from Gamzee, and Lil Cal. Cal allows Lord English to possess Jack, making him stab out his own eyes and saw off his leg, freeing him his manacle. He replaces them with Cal's eyes and one of his cell's spires, respectively, resulting in a resemblance to Lord English. Cal's power creates a massive explosion on Prospit, freeing Jack, and likely destroying what remained of that iteration of Lil Cal.

At this point in 'Collide', LE Slick's head is lopped off and explodes. If I remember correctly, here is where we see Gamzee on Dirk's planet with the Slick fight, etc.

Since LE is a 'Lord of Time', and has Timey powers, is it possible that Gamzee in the fridge is rocketed back in time to earth to raise Caliborn + Calliope? That would explain Gamzee- seeing as the slick fight is on a B2 planet, and LE Slick is B2 Jack Noir.

EDITED:
Also just realized that Gamzee is Jane's guide in B2 universe. That fridge is Jane's. Duh. Jfc.

Part of me is glad this webcomic is finally ending, despite all the good memories, excellent media and great friends it's brought me. The ending of the webcomic itself gives me closure. I'm happy these kids got their happy ending and that Cantopia became a reality. They fucking deserve it. The final animation was cool and the music was fitting as well.

But, I will say the closure in terms of the webcomic's content and storyline, is seriously lacking. Severely, even! The cherubstuff makes sense, but, We never really got to see what happened to the rest of the main characters and there was a disturbing lack of Terezi in the flash. Like, I'm legit mad that my favorite chalk-eater was barely present. Not to mention, she looked kinda glum and was acting kinda standoffish after the fight that took place during [S]Collide. Here's to hoping the Epilogue will give use some true closure. Whenever the hell that comes out.

Don't tell my mom I like homestuck.

This is an answer from Hussie's old forumspring. It should help with your question a bit.

As I explained in a previous post, a lot of what Andrew puts in his story is improvised, or done to look 'cool'. The blind prophet's numbers are a call back to 4/13, and link to Terezi because she is A.) Blind. B.) Is a 'prophet' of sorts, when it comes down to her mind powers, and being able to see future consequences.

I think it's more so a matter of being cool, versus being a practical thing.

The "seemingly dull ending with promise of an epilogue" is not exactly a bait-and-switch Hussie hasn't used before actually. This is the same way Problem Sleuth, Homestuck's predecessor, ended -- the epilogue came out a week after the formal ending and tied up a whole lot of loose ends.

Granted, pulling a tactic like this probably will take more time -- HOW MANY loose ends does Homestuck have?

All of the loose ends. ALLLLLLLL OF THEM.
So many. Too many. There was no way a 9 min. animation was going to show it all, when we got five minutes of a frog growing, propagating, and promptly exploding.
